abbr. vMIP-3. Also: vCCL3 [viral CCL3]. This protein is encoded by the open reading frame K4.1 in the genome of KSHV (KSHV K4.1 protein [HHV-8 K4.1 protein]) (see also: Virokine). The protein is distantly related to human chemokines. The protein is expressed in Kaposi sarcomas and stimulates angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay. The receptor for vMIP-3 has been identified as CCR4, which is expressed in Th2 helper T-cells. The protein is chemotactic for these cells
